OBJECTIVE: To compare different perspectives on evidence in relation to mental health care. METHOD: The method and materials constitute a selective literature review comparing key elements of evidence-based medicine and evidence-based policy with perspectives on evidence from users, carers and professionals. The aim was to develop an argument concerning these comparisons. RESULTS: What constitutes evidence from the perspectives of different stakeholders is a field of contestation. CONCLUSION: It is timely for a multiple perspective paradigm on evidence in science to be developed and this paper initiates this process in relation to mental health care.
